This publication may be of especial interest for American
readers in that, perhaps for the first time, the complex power and
political relationships existing in Central Europe at the beginning
of the early modern period, which led to the emergence of the
dollar, are clearly explained.?It goes on to explain the
relationships that existed between the different thaler currencies
that were involved in the development of the European currency
systems right up to modern times and explains the reasons why the
term "dollar" was used in the late 18th Century, at the time of the
founding of the United States of America.This book offers a very
specific perspective on the common historical roots of the
contemporary Euro-American civilization and contains significant
new information not only for historians concerned with economic and
political history, but that is also of importance for numismatists
and collectors.?The text is illustrated by 84 color photographs of
coins and paper currency.
